SPEND A SLOW SUNDAY

If you'd rather escape the crowds, slow things down with an open-air yoga session in one of Budapest's parks before settling into one of the city's cosy cafés. Whether it's a leisurely brunch at Antigone, coffee and a relaxed morning at Arkitekter, or a perfectly whisked matcha at Nolita, there's no shortage of lovely spots to round off the weekend.
